2009 Seperations

By Chad • June 2nd, 2009

cp_ballchain Looks like 2009 is turning out to be a messed up year for a few people. With the reduction of forces in the military in Iraq, alot of us contractors are getting the famous option of “chicken or pasta?” Meaning? Thanks for working for us, but, your service is no longer needed. You are on a plane back home. (Or to the destination of your choosing)

So a shitload of us can be loosing our jobs at any time. For me, this is good and bad. Good = I will be back in Asia taking some Scuba Instructor courses and back on the island doing my thing. Bad = no good income.I am not at my goal financially yet.

And turns out this year, I have 4 close friends of mine going thru divorces. Here they are with x-wives now wanting half their shit in less than 5 years of marriage. How does any women deserve half of anybody’s shit for only knowing them a few years? Esp when she came into the relationship / marriage with nothing? What a scam.

So all I can do now is… wait. Waiting sucks.

Aren’t you glad that you never made that commitment and going through what alot of us are experiencing, I forgot you have your own issues or should I say you got your own demons!!!!!!!

sorry to hear about the job unstability… i still think u can hit your goal on the savings…ive seen u work hard so i reckon u’d get what u want… divorces are indeed messy… it scares me to be in one sometimes (marriage/relationship) though i want to be married badly too in the near future… despite pessimism, positivity should rule more than the other…

Hey man I am getting ready to fly to Houston on Sunday for my deployment schpill. I found this webpage that was like what to expect when you get to Iraq but I didnt bookmark it like a dumbass. It was formatted like a pamphlet or something. Talking about the housing and facilities etc. Would you or anyone else have this bookmarked. It would be a good link for your site. thanks

I don’t know anybody that talks in depth about facilities and housing. I don’t want to get too in depth on daily living. If you find a site out there, let me know. I will link it.
